I hosted a oneshot of all bards for an 80s-inspired battle of the bands, everyone was allowed to multi class in one other class if they wanted but had to be a bard. I was expecting them to constantly try to seduce constantly, and have all their characters be very showy. What I didn’t expect was the way that, as the oneshot continued, they began to theme each combat and performance around a different song, and coordinate everyone’s attacks and turns with parts of the song. It was really cool until you realize that this band covered Warpigs and Running Up That Hill using vocals, an acoustic guitar, a bass, an accordion and a violin
@@DemonicNightmare essentially lol. They asked my permission to bring a prop coffin onstage for their last battle, then coordinated their finishing blow to hit their opponent *into* the coffin. The paladin then read the opponent’s funeral rights live on stage
Scaly "Dommy Mommy" or "Dommy Daddy". Yikes. 😁 ... someone's gonna need a "potion of regeneration" and a LOT of Handy Wipes. And the rest of the party's just in time for lunch. Or AS lunch.
@@SorobanWorld I love dommy daddy scalies. The point of being a dom is to push your sub to their limits in a way that's safe and consensual. If you're not doing that, you're just abusing them XD So if the potion of regeneration is necessary, then either they're not a dom, just an abuser, or that was what the sub needed.
Y'know, if I was a DM, and I had an all bard party that coordinated that well, and actually did as good a job as they did, ngl, I'd just give them an auto-crit, because that's impressive.
@@savagefrito Yeah but let's be honest, in the modern landscape even before Baldur's Gate 3, people were using nat 20s as guaranteed successes in their D&D games for a looooong time. Denying that reality is akin to implying the term gay doesn't mean homosexual, because it's original meaning didn't imply that whatsoever. Things change, new things become the norm, whether they're in the rulebook or not.
"We continue to play out of spite for the dragon's insolence!" At that point if I were DM'ing I would have to be impressed and let them finish the concert!
I was in a party of all bards, where each bard had a different spec so we had a dedicated healer/'wizard'/rogue/diplomat/etc.... there were MANY performance rolls so we ended up with groupies and fans all over. We weren't very powerful (and honestly were really annoying), and the campaign ended in a near TPK, but those bards that lived were legendary NPC's mentioned by every city in every campaign from them on. For a DM's sanity, never let your party be all bards.
Your ballad has successfully seduced the dragon. Having fallen in love with your groovy tunes, and entranced with the music you have performed, the dragon scoops all of you into a gilded cage. You must now perform for the dragon at its behest, and make him feel what you made him feel that day, or be roasted and eaten. A dragon does not easily part with its treasure, and so we begin act 2 of our campaign. "Escape from Hearthhome"
4: The Dragon wasn't particularly impressed, but she found the attempt sweet and wasn't used to being treated this way by mortals; So in response she decided to leave and let them live.
This was my first exposure to your channel. You had me at the bard help action being the player mouth music, which I will always do from now on. Thank you. Then the magic came, and I was laughing so loud my dog was staring at me, and I couldn’t stop to tell him I was fine, so he came over to see what was up. Thank you. Finally, the professionalism of closing out the piece with a 4. Not a 20, or a 1. (I personally suspect that was the actual roll.). And the player looking at the DM expectantly. Well played. Thank you.
This reminds of the time in a D&D session where my character was mistaken for a famous singer by an enemy camp and the DM gave me the option to either just roll and see how I did or actually sing and be judged based on my performance, I wrote an actual song and called it “Saw Through My Disguise” and it freaking worked. 😂
I love playing a bard in D&D. When I try to stop every conflict with singing, DM said it's like Disney show now. I do wanna share this intresting song with my friends who play D&D with me.(and post on my blog. I will post the link of this video and lyrics in English & Mandarin.) My friends are Mandarin user and not very good at English. I try to search the lyrics of this song but failed. I try to write down the lyrics by myself, but I think maybe some part is wrong. May I ask the full lyrics or please help me correct the lyrics that I tried to write? the lyrics: [DM] Okay. I know you guys are a party of all bards. You are about to approach an ancient Red Dragon. If you piss her off it's going to go very poorly for you… [Bard] We'd like to roll to seduce. [DM] Of course. Go ahead and roll p- [Bard] You think I'm pretty without any makeup on You think I'm funny when I tell the punchline wrong I know you get me so I let my walls come down down~ before you met me I was all right but things were kind of heavy you brought me to life now every February you'll be my Valentine Valentine let's go all the way tonight no regrets just love we can't dance until we die you and I will be young forever You make me to like lifting up Teenage dream The way you turn me on Back can’t sleep Which run the way Don’t ever look back Don’t ever look back My heart start when you look at me Just one touch but baby I belive This is real so take a chance Don’t ever look back Don’t ever look back [Bard] Four.
Dragon (with animal handling/anatomy):Your feet has to be as big as mine to pull that off! Sorcerer/wizard: I cast Wish on the bard so his "feet" grows to appropriate size... Dragon: I AM STILL MERELY THINKING YOU AS A FRIEND!!! DM: Bard, you have taken 184 social damage!
If your homies bust a mean flow at the table like this then, as a DM, you are legally required to give them a critical success.
A player burst into full song yesterday, & I waited for them to finish, then rolled a 2 to oppose.
If I'd rolled a 20, I'd have said "keep going..."
As a forever DM I fully agree. Effort like this shall be rewarded and encouraged.

@@skippykay599 omg i love that
their singing is fire please realize album
Reminds me of the old _The Quigmans_ comic, where a polka band's accordionist says "& now, we'd like to do a Pink Floyd medley"
Bard: Nat 20 let's go
DM: Ok roll to find out if you're the sub
Bard: What
DM: What
Scaly "Dommy Mommy" or "Dommy Daddy". Yikes. 😁 ... someone's gonna need a "potion of regeneration" and a LOT of Handy Wipes. And the rest of the party's just in time for lunch. Or AS lunch.
Forget the potions. He's going to need someone with a shovel and someone to cast true resurrection.
Bard: nat 20, lets go
DM: Roll for damage
Bard:

I mean, it's a matter of either potentially falling in and suffocating, or being shredded

you cant crit skill checks - RAW
@@savagefrito Point, but you get what I mean
@savagefrito Crit is lingo for 20 but you are a f**king r**ard so good luck with that.

@@moosecannibal8224 rule still stands bub, you run your table your way, I'll do mine my way... rules as written.
D&D: The Musical. An entire rock band just jamming all the way through a campaign.
I would pay good money to see a dnd musical series
I'll be real--the 4 here was genuinely the funniest shit ever. Better than either a 1 or a 20, just. Hysterical.
Plot twist: 4 was _with_ the modifier
DM: ...roll a saving throw
player: wait, which one?
DM: all of them
actually, I'd give them a +10
not that it would help with that roll...
but still, nice effort
(tears up 6 character sheets)
GM: okay, party of all Bards, there is a dragon... and SHE-
Bards: SEDUCE!
You really think gender matters to bards that much? (says the fellow bard)
So... who's the father?
The guy taking notes but he's just drawn a cool S. Accurate.
This had to look silly as heck when recording
He should have gotten to roll with advantage because the whole party was giving the Help action!!!
"The dragon insults your music and gives you five seconds to leave before it kills you."
"We continue to play out of spite for the dragon's insolence!"
At that point if I were DM'ing I would have to be impressed and let them finish the concert!

For a DM's sanity, never let your party be all bards.
Also, never try to beat FF1 with four red mages

Oh dear that's a very chaotic party
The bass player with the sunglasses... Accurate 😂
reasons to play a bard: excuse for impromptu musical numbers
As a dm if I had a party put on that proformance I wouldn't even make them roll. That's what I called a critical success
Honestly, if you *must* have an all-bard party, then giving one another Bardic Inspiration is just good tactics.
4: The Dragon wasn't particularly impressed, but she found the attempt sweet and wasn't used to being treated this way by mortals; So in response she decided to leave and let them live.
I could totally see this shit happening and it would be successful.
Oh come ON! He should at least have been given advantage for that banger! A Help Action! SOMETHING! COME ON, DM!
so i looked up the song after watching this and i think this is the better version
I was expecting the punchline to be that the GM says "Roll with disadvantage"

DM: You know what, you don't even have to roll
Party: Let's GOOOOO
DM: You're all dead
Party: *surprised pikachu face
This was lit and the whole party should've just been allowed to have the dragon fall down lovesick at all their feet.
I'm gonna download this, edit out the talking at the beggening and end, and listen to it unironically on my phone.
Thank you.
even with a 4, this had better succeed.
that 4 really got me hahahahahahaha
A party of all bards is called a band. We have those in real life.
I love so much that this just ends with a roll of 4. Perfectly funny way to end this video.
I've always thought Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny would be a great D&D campaign, this reminded me of that.

[DM]
Okay. I know you guys are a party of all bards. You are about to approach an ancient Red Dragon. If you piss her off it's going to go very poorly for you…
[Bard]
We'd like to roll to seduce.
[DM]
Of course. Go ahead and roll p-
[Bard]
You think I'm pretty without any makeup on
You think I'm funny when I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me so I let my walls come down
down~
before you met me I was all right but
things were kind of heavy you brought me
to life now every February you'll be my Valentine
Valentine
let's go all the way tonight
no regrets just love
we can't dance until we die
you and I will be young forever
You make me to like lifting up
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
Back can’t sleep
Which run the way
Don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
My heart start when you look at me
Just one touch but baby I belive
This is real so take a chance
Don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
[Bard]
Four.
Yep! It's Teenage Dream by the artist Katy Perry!
@@thewitchofgeek It's the name of a song, so need to be capital. Got it! thanks!
I'd Give all of them an inspiration.
That's a roll with advantage and inspiration.
My ruling would be roll with advantage and add 5. Still funnier with a fail tho
The other bards would give bardic inspiration or something with the acompaingnment, and as a dm I would let him use advantage
Now that's just awesome right there
My first thought was and I quote “Oh shit this gonna be a really crazy campaign” I feel bad for the DM
aaaand that's another subscriber. Fantastic vid.
O, that's unfair I suffer too) You're awesome!
Its an all bard party clothing optional
WOW I have not heard this song in *forever*
That was fantastic, and then, 4.
This guy has the same accent as Owen Wilson
Dragon (with animal handling/anatomy):Your feet has to be as big as mine to pull that off!
Sorcerer/wizard: I cast Wish on the bard so his "feet" grows to appropriate size...
Dragon: I AM STILL MERELY THINKING YOU AS A FRIEND!!!
DM: Bard, you have taken 184 social damage!
Release the single!
-Reeeleeeese eeeeet!-
Fun!
one take
This was very funny. Though, if I ever play DND, I won't be a bard as I'm not very good at impromptu stuff like that.
I was jamming out to this
And that’s why I main a bard
You didn't add Bardic Inspiration, and I refuse to believe that a bard only has a +3 (at the most) persuasion.
ok but what if he had 6 bardic inspirations on the roll
I'll DND with you bud :)
Isn’t this just My Singing Monsters?
An all bard group so a music band
I roll... 4. Which means 36
lmao
What the hell? Under 500 subs?!
Pretty good, but needs more cowbell.
I'm just gona ask it: If there is so much horny bards memes about seduce dragons. Why don't anyone just make a Dragon/dragonborn female bard?
how many takes was this?
One take. No edits.
YOU REALLY GOT THROUGH THIS WITHOUT LAUGHING ONCE?????@@TalltaleTavernPodcast
LOL
did you come up with these jokes all by yourself?
“4”
“the dragon is genuinely impressed..
..but she’s asexual”
